A $300 Reward Is Being Offered In Connection With Am Arson Investigation In Paulden

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is looking for information into an arson investigation in the Paulden area. Just before 5:30 p.m. last Thursday, a deputy responded to the area of Grand Canyon Road in Paulden for a fire. The deputy arrived and tried to put the fire out with an extinguisher, but it had little effect. Central Arizona Fire and Medical crews arrived a few minutes later and were able to contain the fire. The investigation shows the fire was started intentionally. The suspect, or suspects, had constructed a homemade incendiary device which luckily failed. Witnesses tell authorities two juveniles were seen on a red and white quad in the area at the time of the fire. If anyone has information leading to the arrest in the case, contact Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232 or submit a tip online at yavapaisw.com. A $300 reward is being offered in the case.
